Long Arm of the Law Gains New Skill in Cedar Rapids
The Cedar Rapids police force has evolved from the old days of rookies with night sticks to a modern, well equipped department. By 1945 officers study First Aid, rely on crime labs, photography, fingerprinting, and radio patrols. The force expanded after wartime shortages, and now operates with a national dragnet and improved training, highlighting the importance of contacts in crime detection.
